Morning guys Ive got a 50 pontiac with a 1968 pontiac 350 under the hood. Ive put about 1500 miles on this setup and in this heat I've had a...
I hear ya. See the thing is on these pontiacs it's not under the floor. It's on the toe board angled down directly under the steering column. Now...
Yeah Gimpy I'm with ya. The reason I attempted it is because a guy on an olds site did the conversion the same way and was happy with the outcome....
I have a 1" bore remote fill master now. But I'm not sure there is a smaller remote fill available. I wanted to go to a dual master cylinder for...
That's exactly what I'm thinking. I don't think there is a master cylinder with remote fill like what I have out there.
Also the engine in this car is pulling about 18" of vacuum at idle.
I wish the linkage was more like that. The pontiac unit mounts down to the "toe board " I think they call it. The pedal actually mounts directly...
And just out of curiosity I tore the original treadle vac down. The bore size on the original master cylinder is just under 11/16.
They are new. Not sure how they could affect lack of brake pressure which is what I think is the problem. If the pedal ratio was higher I think it...
Ok. So on these pontiacs. The pedal ratio is 1:1. 1" master cylinder 1" rear wheel cylinder 7" dual diagram booster I've tried 2 new boosters....
Good morning fellas Gonna try and keep this short. 1956 pontiac chieftan-treadlevac brakes ok i bought this car recently. disc brakes already on...
PhilA is pretty smart with these trans. I just fixed mine in my 1956 Pontiac. Id say pull it out and tear it down. Get a manual. Fatsco in New...
I ran a 2300 holley sniper on a flathead straight 8 pontiac if that counts. Ran AWESOME!!! I then swapped in a 350 pontiac v8 and went carb. I...
I have searched but I've also seen complaints of bump steer due to the linkage they sell. I was hoping someone had used a certain kit and was...
I've got a 1954 Chevy 3600. Installing a 250 6 cylinder and a 700r4. So.... what's a good option for power steering? I can mount the pump no...
I'm doing some repairs on a 56 pontiac now with the same trans!! Phila here is the resident expert. Fatsco transmission has parts. When you call...
I've also thought of going with an electric pump. If I did what is considered a reliable/daily driver electric pump?? Thanks again
Thanks for the replies guys. So a little more on the fuel system. It's a stock pontiac mechanical fuel pump. Stock plumbing from the original fuel...
I forgot to say I have swapped in a pontiac 350 with a 700r4 with power steering and a/c.
Morning! In my quest to make my 1950 Pontiac my daily driver I'm trying to get ahead of things if I can. With that said I'm curious about adding...
Extremely underated comment!!!
Electric or mechanical pump? If mechanical i would lose the filter before the pump.
I wish you could stop by my house and pick up the one I took out. Its from a 51 pontiac. Good engine and trans just had a leaky rear seal. I dont...
Well.... that would work if that was the application I was using it in but... It's going on a pontiac v8 in my 50 chieftan. But hey it should give...
Thanks everyone. I think that gf90 may be a winner. It's 1/8 npt so I can add a adapter to each side and make that work. Thanks again.
Thanks. I'm gonna check on that one tomorrow. All the descriptions I find show it having metric threads. I'll let you know what I find.
Quick question. Does anyone here know if a fuel filter exist that is 3/8 female flare on both the inlet and outlet. I was wanting to run a hard...
Nice Car!!! Dont see many at all. But.... can we talk about that lift you have it on? That looks awesome!
If I opened up the center of the xframe an inch or so I would probably have room. I wouldn't think that would weaken anything.
I could move it over I would just have to do some work on the x frame or the driveshaft would hit
